Doctor Who: The Pharos Project Podcast

Could an industrial prehuman civilization have existed on Earth? Is it possible that aliens are already here and living among us? Can a director's cut really save a bad film? No. Here's the renegade cut of Highlander 2.

In a chaotic episode, Pete makes room for poultry and goes missing, Chris purchases 6 fine onions and Paul offers an apology 10 years too late. They also talk about 1985's "Silver Bullet", but not often.

We didn't think we would still be doing this either, but somehow we forgot that we usually bugger off after a few episodes. Blame Little Pete, and his instance on talking about the movie "PaperHouse", from 1988.

In a desperate, last ditch effort to avoid acknowledging the end of lockdown, the Projecteers bravely agree to watch and talk about a movie...

...1983's Something Wicked This Way Comes.

This week, we are joined by 4th Projecteer Miss Natalie, as we take a long overdue look at the 13th Doctor. Also, has Chris Chibnall saved or fu**ed the show by tinkering with mythology.

We take our last look at a classic Who story for a while as Mr Chris pokes The Ice Warriors at us. Time to get our Troughton.

Desperate for human contact during lockdown, the Projecteers resort to an examination of the final days of Sweaty Ron, as detailed in "Warriors of the Deep".

In a failed experiment to reverse the polarity of the pootron flow emanating from Little Pete's cack encrusted mitts, we've ended up  having to watch Delta and the Bannermen. 

To conclude our trilogy of lockdown themed episodes (yes, that was always the intention and not something we only just noticed) we look at the 1977 Tom Baker classic, Horror of Fang Rock.

Once more the Projecteers return, unedited and poorly recorded. We may be confined, but we take solace in the fact that we are not being menaced by red cauliflower footballs, kicked over the fence into the lady garden of evil. Unlike that lot in Terror of the Vervoids.

It's our 10th anniversary and everyone is on lockdown, so as we had bugger all else to do, here's a new episode. Sorry its Paradise Towers, blame Little Pete. 

This episode we are joined by Mr Other Chris as we pay tribute to the great Rutger Hauer and review 1992's Split Second. 

Hello again. It's that time of year when we muck out Pete's cage, so while he's out, might as well record something. 

This time we've been forced into watching a musical by a supposed friend and a small dog. Fear not, as we barely manage to get around to it and by the time we do Paul is way to drunk to care.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Grease.

In this episode, we gaze long into an abyss. The abyss gazes back for a bit, but finding nothing of interest, soon goes back to watching Bake Off. It's "The Void" from 2016.

This episode, we are joined by Mr. Other Chris from The Eleventh Hour Podcast, as we talk about the right load of old cobblers that is Michael Mann's "The Keep".

Put on your posh clobber and get the beers in, it's anniversary time again! This time we celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Last Action Hero".

Sorry about the slight audio problems towards the end, we tried to clean it up as best we could.

In this episode, we talk around the 1998 movie "Godzilla".

Miss Natalie joins us as we talk about "Attack the Block"

In the Cursed Earth where the mutants dwell, there is no law just a living hell. Anyway, enough about Norfolk. On this episode we talk about "Dredd". Also, some bloke cuts the grass.

All aboard the 2:21 from Pharos Towers! Please be sure to keep your belongings with you at all times and try not to feed the wolfmen. This episode, we look at 2015's "Howl".

The apocalypse is upon us as giant monsters rise from the depths to crush our cities. Our only hope is to create giant robots to beat them off. No, not one of Pete's "special films", but Guillermo Del Toro's "Pacific Rim".

"At the end of March 2018, the Projecteers returned to talk all things Mad Max Fury Road. Nobody knew where they came from or where they went afterwards, but the smell lingered for weeks". - The First History Man

Cheers.

Doctor Who is back and so are we! This week, we talk about the first episode of series 10 "The Pilot". Well, we skirt around it to be honest. Mainly we talk about Chris' weird notes and cyborg poo.

Also, we apologize that the audio quality in this episode does not meet our usual standard. Also, we don't actually mean that.

[email protected]

This week, we watch Mel Brooks attempt to polish a turd as we watch "Solarbabies".

In this episode we look at that there Biggles movie from 1986. We don't know why. Also, we become members of the aristocracy.

We're back! Half cut and half arsed as ever.

This week we watched "The Princess Bride", which is a film.

This week. We delve backwards through time to a point when 50 year old men could easily pull much younger women. Coincidentally, a time when most TV was written by 50 year old men. Yes it's 1972, and we're watching movie of the week "The Night Stalker".

Also, it's our 6th anniversary. We don't mention it.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/PharosProject

This year, we decide to do some bonding. Then totally forget that as we argue like buggery over the last Bond film Spectre.

Twitter and stuff you should already know.

In which we discuss "The Husbands of River Song". Also, horse genitalia and can a bellow ever be nuanced?

Finally, part two of our Series 9 finale review. We look at "Hell Bent".

Mr Aussie Nick joins us for the first part of our Series 9 finale review, as we look at "Heaven Sent".

In a surprising move for this podcast, we recorded a podcast. Here is our review of "Face the Raven". Have at it.

That's it for the show notes. It's late and I'm bloody tired.

Doctor Who is back! This week we look at the opening two-parter of Series 9; The Magician's Apprentice and The Witch's Familiar.

Also it's our 200th episode.

This week, we journey to the future. War is obsolete, giant robots controlled by idiots decide the fate of the world. No, it's not Pacific Rim, it's that movie's impoverished cousin "Robot Jox".

We just nipped out for a bit, but now we're back. Sadly, while we were away cinema lost one of it's true greats, the amazing Sir Christopher Lee. So, we decided to mark his passing by getting drunk and talking about a film starring the great man, The Curse of Frankenstein.

This week. Join us as we watch Michael Caine pay for another house. It's "The Swarm".

"The Timelord is Regenerating"!

It's time to bid farewell to Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor, as he ruins Christmas for everybody and snuffs it. All is not lost however, Peter Capaldi is waiting in the wings with dodgy kidneys. We welcome back fourth Projecteer Miss Natalie as we review "The Time of the Doctor".

That's all. There's a bit of Simon Fisher Becker in there, but i need a wee and can't be bothered to write out all the rest of the usual shit.
